1. instAllAtion
• Connect the speed-control to the receiver (position: Channel 2)
BRUSHLESS MOTOR:
The LRP Crawler Reverse comes pre-wired using common JST motor connectors. It's simply „plug &
play" when you intend using a designated LRP Brushless motor, see picture below! You can of course
also use optional 2.6mm² power wires for a „hardwired" setup without connectors.
• Blue power-wire Speedo MOT.A to motor „A"
• Yellow power-wire Speedo MOT.B to motor „B"
• Orange power-wire Speedo MOT.C to motor „C"
• Connect the hall sensor cable to the speed-control and the motor.
C + B – A
BRUSHED MOTOR:
• MOT.A (blue) and MOT.B (yellow) will be the combined „minus" on the brushed motor.
• MOT.C (orange) wire will be „plus" on the brushed motor.
• Doublecheck all connections before connecting the speed-control to a battery.
CAUTION: If battery is connected with reversed polarity it will destroy your speed-control!
• Red power-wire  Speedo BAT+ to battery „Plus"
• Black power-wire  Speedo BAT- to battery „Minus"
• The speed-control is now ready to be set-up (see section 5).
2. ConneCtions
On/Off - Switch
Power Capacitor
Receiverwire
RECEIVER CONNECTING WIRE:
This LRP speed-control is equipped with an LRP Multicon
receiver wire. As supplied, it will easily fit in all ordinary
receivers.
HALL SENSOR WIRE:
This bi-directional multipole wire connects the speed-control and the motor. Do not alter or modify this cable!
There are replaceable/optional hall sensor wires available: • #81910 (20cm) • #81920 (10cm)
POWER WIRES:
The LRP Crawler Reverse comes pre-wired using common Tamiya/JST battery connector and JST motor con-
nectors. It's simply „plug & play" when you intend using a designated LRP Brushless motor! There are optional
2.6mm² power wire sets available (#82505), which allow you to use a „hardwired" wire setup. The unique
splitted solder-tabs allow easy and convenient replacement of the power wires. Nevertheless some soldering
skills are required. Talk to your local hobbyshop if you are concerned about replacing the wires yourself.
CAUTION: Be very careful with the correct wire sequence since an incorrect connection may damage the
speed-control! Avoid creating solder bridges on the solder-tabs and isolate all connections carefully. Avoid
soldering longer then 5sec per soldering joint.

4. instAllAtion tips
• Position the speed-control and capacitor where they are protected in the event of a crash and gives you easy
access to the connectors and buttons.
• Make sure there is enough clearance between the speed-control, power-wires, antenna and receiver. Avoid
any direct contact between power components, the receiver or the antenna as this can cause interference.
If interference occurs, position the components at a different place in the model.
• The aerial should be run vertically up and away from the receiver. Avoid contact with any parts made of car-
bon fibre or metal. If the aerial is too long, don't coil up the excess length. See also the instructions supplied
with your radio control system.
• Mount the speedo and capacitor using the supplied thick/black doubled-sided tape.
• ONLY FOR BRUSHED MOTORS! Motors with no capacitors or not enough capacitors may interfere with the
speed-control. To avoid this, solder the supplied capacitors to your motor.
5. rAdio / speed-Control set-up
In setup mode the LRP Crawler Reverse stores every step when you press the SET button. All the settings will be
stored in the speed-controls memory even if the speed-control will be disconnected from the battery.
TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Setup the following basic functions on your transmitter (if available):
Description other names in radio
Throttle Travel High ATV, EPA
Brake Travel Low ATV, EPA, ATL
Throttle Exponential EXP, EXPO
Neutral Trim SUB Trim
Servo Reverse Throttle Reverse
If your transmitter doesn't offer any of above functions, it's already in „basic setup" mode.
• Ensure that the speed-control is not connected to the drive battery and is switched off.
• Remove motor pinion or ensure that the wheels of the model are free to rotate.
• Switch the transmitter on and set the transmitter throttle stick to neutral.
• Connect the speed-control to the battery and switch the unit on.
• Hold the SET button pressed for at least 3sec.
 You entered setup mode and the SET LED flashes red (it will flash until the setup is completed).
• Leave transmitter in neutral position and press the SET button once.
 Neutral setting is stored , MODE LED flashes green and the motor beeps.
• Hold full throttle on transmitter and press the SET button once.
 Full-throttle setting is stored, MODE LED flashes red.
• Hold full brake on transmitter and press the SET button once.
 Brake setting is stored, LED's glow red (MODE) and red (SET).
• This completes the setup procedure and your LRP Crawler Reverse is ready to use.
• If you make a mistake during the setup procedure, don't worry: Disconnect the battery for about 10sec and
start again from the first step.
• At the end of each run switch of the car, and then switch off the transmitter.
• At the start of each run switch on the transmitter first, then switch on the car.
• For storage of the car, disconnect the drive battery at any time!
CHECKING THE FUNCTIONS:
Check the LED's when moving your throttle stick and you will see if everything is setup correctly.
